Hi Dean think this Borderer could have been a sub contractor for Durhams from Teesside as he is pulling a Durhams trailer which has a load of steel rod more than likely loaded from the rod mill BSC Lackenby. My dad worked in the trailer scheme there loading loads such as this for all the hauliers involved, from the late 70,s until he retired.
This wagon although Kieth has identified as been from a haulage company from Wales does have a North East (Durham) registration so maybe second hand.

That Woodhaul Renault brought back some memories , i thought it was my old motor at first but mine was a twin steer E555 EWE . I think it came from Sheffield and could have been an ex Gloystene ? motor . Bloody awful thing on a par with the Mercs we are running now but at least it was a manual

Hi ,jshepguis,yes indeed Glyn Morris entire fleet would have been second hand stock,he hauled steel out the Orb works in Newport and had tippers on coke work ,regards Keith
Hi Dean, Just as you suggested earlier, I have been back to page 179 from February 2018. I had forgotten that I posted
a few pictures of my Ex Bass Charrington TL Bedford, which, when new, was fitted with Linkliner sliding door bodywork
by Boalloy. I very soon had it converted to a curtainsider. Also the interesting comments that Bass removed any makers
lettering from the radiator grill, in this case B E D F O R D , I hadn’t noticed that it wasn’t there. 
Cheers, Ray.

Quiz time !
2.In the period 1966 to 1975 how many trucks did the above manufacturer export in total. (Nearest thousand will do ! )
The Iveco could be Dave Henton aka PED iirc Pete Smith may be more accurate

Hi Dan that Iveco probably was Henton and the Transcon I think was owner driver Paul Merrick who was one of Mervyn Applebys ex drivers

Hi ,jshepguis,yes indeed Glyn Morris entire fleet would have been second hand stock,he hauled steel out the Orb works in Newport and had tippers on coke work ,regards Keith
South Wales haulier? Not since the days of Glyn’s dad! Glyn ran his fleet from the old Weston’s Biscuits depot at Lea Line then moved to the former Norman Cash’s Kilcot Garage, just over the border into God’s Own County. Photo was taken before livery was applied- unit dragged into service to load a trailer for the next day. Just a guess!

Morning Dan and Jerry,
The Iveco was Dave Hentons and it originally pulled a fridge for Dave on Euro work, Italy and Spain I think.Looks like he is on his way to Stadco at Shrewsbury.
The Transcon Jerry I think you are correct in saying it was Metrics but I can only remember him on Castle Services along side Porky! Cheer’s Pete
Hi Dean,
The FL looks like one that operated out of the dairy at Minsterley, the old Ski Yoghurt factory, Trevor will know better!

I recon this scania is ex Sheertrucks.

The unit is painted in Coldtream’s livery which was the name Express Dairies used when it merged it’s two distribution divisions in 1989. The trailer would have been in the old livery whilst the unit has not been fitted with the Coldstream logos.
